Woods 2 class is a dual credit class through LLCC. The goal for Woods 2 is to learn all the steps on how to build a shed/small structure and then build it with little help from me; the instructor. The students took charge of this build and I mostly supervised and guided students. I think we exceeded our goal! The shed was completed in just 6 weeks.
I am so proud of these students. It’s not perfect but for a group of teenagers it turned out great!! Mrs. L. Hileman, Instructor.
Students: Aubrey B; Carson B; Nic H; Logan H; Mia H; Hailey J; Hayden J; Nolan M; Dylan P; Cameron S; Blake T; Gavyn T; and Trevor W
